More Metal Fun

Were you here when I showed you these parts on Tuesday???

I asked if anyone knew what they were from?

 Well, here are some more parts ..... from the 'inside'.

 and underside.....

and end..... any guesses yet???

 this is sure to be a giveaway....

 or maybe these are.

 For sure now......

  

you guessed it!

 A sewing machine.

or at least parts of one.

Here's the story.

I had this sewing machine on a cast iron base.

No one would buy it.

So, I decided to take it apart.

I took the machine out, and selling the base as a table separately.

Then I started taking the machine apart.

Just for fun. Just to see how it works...

and to use the parts.  

 

like this end with the needle shaft and holder.

the back side is even cool.

 and look at these close ups.

 fun huh???? I'm lovin' it.

 

and I'm going to use the stripped down sewing machine, 

with wheel, as a plant holder on the patio. (for sale of course).

any other ideas????

 

This is the second piece of 'machinery' I have taken apart.

It is so much fun. hmmmm.What next I wonder?

thanks for coming by for my craziness.

A Few Fun Finds

 A few more fun finds from our vacation 3 weeks ago.....

LOVE these huge buttons.....

 7 of them. Up for grabs.....

I think this is a humidor... used for storing tobacco?

I thought it would be a perfect little sewing cabinet.

a pin cushion here....

 sewing notions inside...maybe in a little basket..

What do you think??

Paint it white??? Leave it brown....black???

 Here is an advertising letter openeer.

Could not find out anything about it on the internet.

That means either very rare.... or very common.

and here are some other little treasures.

Still more to unload. Cleaning and

 getting into computer a long process...

Thanks for ocming by
